PERMANENT SUMMER-TIME LEGISLATION
HOUSE EXPECTED TO
APPROVE How the majority of the members in the new House of Representatives are likely to regard the re-enactment of the original summer-time measure, providing for advancing the clock one hour in summer, has-been ascertained by a careful checking of candidates’ opinions, expressed before the election. Advocates of the reform are already busy in Parliamentary circles, as the present measure expires- in a few months and would need to be re-enact-ed. It is considered that conditions are favourable to introducing the full measure of summer time.
There are 32 members in the House of Representatives definitely pledged to secure the full hour of summer time, and between 20 and 30 not finally committed, but of these only 8 will be required to secure a majority for the permanent adoption of the original measure. Its author is now Leader of the Legislative Council, and if it appears eventually as a Government measure he would no doubt introduce it first in the Council.
